Very good, easy weeknight meal. I didn't have a fresh serrano, so I used 1 TBSP. of pickled jalapeño pepper, also subbed oyster sauce for the fish sauce.
Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Mango Sambal
Sambal is a generic name for any paste-like condiment made with chiles. Authentic versions tend to be extremely hot. This Malaysian-influenced mango sambal works well with the Southern-style barbeque spice rub. The vinegar gives the condiment a flavor that's reminiscent of a North Carolina mop sauce.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces pork and 1/4 cup sambal)
